Consumer Description

WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED, IT FREQUENTLY RUNS ROUGHLY FOR SEVERAL SECONDS OR MORE. IT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH WHEN PUT IN GEAR AND HAS ALMOST LED TO ME STRIKING VEHICLES PARKED IN FRONT AND BEHIND ME WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO PULL OUT OF PARELLEL PARKING SPACES. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED ME TO STRIKE MY TRAILER AS I ATTEMPT TO HITCH UP TO IT AND MAKES THAT PROCESS VERY CHALLENGING. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS SINCE IT WAS NEW AND HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR REPAIRS WHICH HAVE FAILED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM.
